I've noticed higher overhead with Proton10 XWayland Fsync VS GE/EM NTsync Wayland.
CPU overhead, do non-Nvidia users also notice this?

Anyone build a tv console-style setup?
I'm taking my older PC after my new build and plan to turn it into a console-style setup. It will be hooked up to a tv.
Has anyone had any success doing this? I've never hooked an computer up to a tv.
It would probably be even better if the software experience was more like a console as well. (Bazzite, steamOS, jovian)
I personally use CachyOS on my new gaming setup.
Does anyone have any recommendations or concerns with doing a setup like this? It will mainly be for my fiancee's son. (Getting rid of YouTube and parental controls will be important).

Valve's Steam Deck features opt-in data collection for crashes, GPU hangs, kernel oops, out-of-memory events, and split-lock detection to fix software/hardware issues and optimize games/engines on SteamOS. Presented by Igalia's Guilherme Piccoli at...
idk how to describe what i'm looking at.
Since idk what this is I couldn't search for a solution, this has only happened in 2 games i've played so far wukong and where winds meet, if you know what the problem here is please tell me so at least i can troubleshoot it.

Bottles appreciation post !! (little bit for my old laptop also)
So i have a 6 year old low end laptop ( 4 gb ram, intel 620 integrated gpu, i3 7th gen cpu) , with linux mint. I wanted to play some games (low end obviously). That's when i found this.
And it has been a game changer !! Installing and playing windows games is so easy using bottles. I have installed gta sa, far cry 3, nfs hot pursuit, and cod-mw3 so far. There was only a little bit problem with nfs though, where its repack installer showed some memory allocation error related to nmap ( since i have 4 gigs ram only). so i had to install that in other pc and transferred the folder to mine and then it easily ran using bottles.
There has been no problems with any of the games and they have been running smoothly at high quality.
I love my old laptop and linux mint. It wouldn't have survived even 2 years on windows, let alone doing these out of the box tasks.

Dayz launcher window using tiny UI
I can play Dayz on Fedora 43 just fine but the launcher is very difficult to use as the UI is tiny. Trying to search for servers is almost impossible.
I know there are a few third party linux launchers for Dayz but I don't want to trust some random script on the internet. I'd rather fix the built in launcher.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Ubisoft Connect - failing to connect (ironically)
Hey folks.
Now I’ve tried the usual avenues of solving this issue, but at this point I’ve tried so many things and there doesn’t seem to be any clear answers online that I can fine.
Long story short; I picked up all the Assassins creed games for ludicrously cheap in the steam sale, and already blasted through AC1 and 2, but now I’m on brotherhood.
It worked fine for the first hour or so of gameplay, but then I turned my computer off, and now it’s not launching.
I’ve deleted the compatdata directory for the game, regenerated it, uninstalled and reinstalled, used proton tricks to try to manually install the Ubisoft connect client…
And I get tantalising windows where the launcher actually launches - but then the game isn’t reading my controller input.
From what I can gather it’s that the Ubisoft connect client claims it can’t connect to Uplay servers when I look into its logs. But my internet is solid. I also tried using my tethered cellphone and using a wired connection - and it briefly worked first time I used it.
Basically it seems like it can’t see the internet or _*something*_
I’m at a loss.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Anyone remembers tux of math command game?
This game was very popular in the last 2 decades in primary schools. Allowed students to practice arithmetic. I tried downloading it to teach my nephew mathematics and it didn't work. anyone who knows similar educational games? Bonus points if it's customisable and open source. I would want similar shooting mechanics in English and science.

I built a Chrome Dino–style game for the linux terminal.
I made termrex, a CLI terminal game inspired by the Google Chrome Dino offline game.
I’m looking for testing and feedback, especially from Linux and macOS users.
Any feedback on terminal compatibility, bugs, or gameplay is welcome.

No USB-C to HDMI 2.1 cable supporting VRR in Linux?
I saw Cable Matters VRR7100-based DP-to-HDMI2.1 and DP-to-HDMI2.1 female converter using Chrontel CH7218 chip that have working VRR in Linux (with some kernel patch).
I have Cable Matters VRR7100-based USB-C to HDMI2.1 cable, with this spyder_fw_usbc_cm_7-02-120_35th.fullrom firmware. The cable has working VRR in Windows, with 4K120Hz+10bitHDR, but no VRR in Linux.
I have enforced FreeSync activation by hard-coding the kernel DRM code, but it keeps flickering sometime when switching vertical frequency, or going out of sync.
I could not find any USB-C to HDMI2.1 cable (or female converter) that has working VRR in Linux. I use the cable for AMD iGPU which I use for the main display in Linux (dGPU is for Windows VM VFIO and Grahpics/Computation offload only). I have no idea whether USB-C (DP Alt.) to DP converter will work for the above DP-to-HDMI2.1 cables as the USB-C to DP conversion is not just wiring.
Can you guys recommend me a solution or product? Any suggestion would be greatly helpful. Thanks.

Missing sound in some games.
My audio works perfectly fine pretty much everywhere, however in Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R (steam), 3rd Strike, and Jojo HFTF (fightcade) I get nothing. I also tried DOA2 on fightcade and it worked?
